WHAT'S YOUR DIGITAL IQ?
To think that when I started recruiting 17 years ago: -I did not have a computer on my desk - I did not have a smartphone - I FAXED resumes - I still used "white-out" - There were no JOB BOARDS (Monster, HotJobs , Careerbuilder ) - I placed ads in HELP WANTED section of the NYT - Social Media DID NOT EXIST -no FACEBOOK , MYSPACE , LINKEDIN , TWITTER HOW THE HELL DID I FUNCTION :) ? When I begin to reflect on the tremendous changes that have occurred - just since my graduation from college in 1990- I feel like my grandfather - telling stories of the first TV he got...or the guy that delivered ICE for their ICE BOX (Refrigerator for those who did not know). The need to acquire a "DIGITAL SKILL SET" has become MANDATORY across almost every industry & necessary to establishing a career path. I am focusing on the DIGITAL world to underscore it's dominance in the way we interact - work - gather information - communicate - look for jobs - socialize - make purchases
